So who's brewing this weekend?

[seatazzz]

Ambitious double brew day planned; pressure fermented lager first, then house NEIPA. Strike almost to temp, pouring down rain outside, great day to stay in the garage and brew. Tomorrow is busy all day what with weekly mom visit then work, so all in one day this time. Will be dead tired but will be worth it.

I have a more chill brew day planned for today. Got my strike water heating slowly while I enjoy a cup of coffee. Then planning to get a crockpot meal started for dinner tonight and then make omelets for the lady and I before I mash in. Trying a new, Chinnok forward APA recipe today with 87.3% Briess brewers malt, 9.1% Victory malt and 3.6% Chit malt. Chinook, citra and centennial.

Have the mash started on a brewing experiment I was invited to participate in. 6 of us were all given the exact same ingredients. 6 recipes were written with the only differences being the hopping schedules. We drew lots and have to brew the batch we picked today. Everyone was to try to match the specified water profile given using distilled water to start, same mash temps, and same fermentation temperature using 05 yeast. We will meet on April 11 to compare each batch to see how different they all are. Basic pale ale grain bill with 5.3 oz of cascade hops added at different times.

Brewed up and English Porter on Saturday.

First brew of the year. Taking a crack at another historical style I haven't tried before, this one is a Merseburger bier. The original recipe called for an obscene amount of hops, so I cut it in half to have a more palatable beer. We'll see.

 

[jcav]

Brewed a Vienna Mosaic Pale Ale yesterday. The whirlpool hops smelled amazing! Looking forward to this one!

Brewing a pretty basic hefeweizen to help establish the pipeline again. My wife keeps asking where I'm putting all this beer. Still trying to answer that.

I'm looking more and more like fat bastard daily

 

[leedspointbrew]

Helped a friend brew his WCIPA entry for Garden State Beer Co's homebrew competition. Two-row, Caravienna + other unknown malts, Mosaic, Amarillo and Galaxy. Looked and smelled like a winner.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Cooking up some invert in readiness for this year's brett'd stock ale. Will get it brewed sometime between this and next weekend.

80% UK pale ale
5% light UK crystal
5% flaked wheat
10% invert #2
1.099 / 67IBU
Cluster FWH & 90m
EKG DH & oak in secondary
WY9097-PC Old Ale

2+ years later, bottled it.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

All set up to brew a 5 gallon citra/ mosaic ipa, perl are the bittering hops, citra/mosaic makeup the whirlpool and a 2 ounce shot of each goes in as a dry hop

 

[Willy]

Brewing a small batch (6 g) of a Belgium Pale Ale. About 1/3 done with a 60 min mash. Looks tasty, expecting a final 4.9% ABV - ph and OG going smoothly. All is well. Gorgeous day!

Had my first chance to do my milling in the shed that holds a large amount of grain (200 lbs ) - did the 2 foot trench for 12 gauge wire in Cantex a few weeks back and finally got it all hooked up on Thursday, so I got power! Woo.
Back to brewing.

 

[Halfakneecap]

Hoppy session ale. Playing with one cube addition only. Been a while and i've forgotten how i calc them. This one will be calculated as a 20 min addition.

Atlas pale malt 90.4%
dark munich 9.6%
Centennial ( one cube addition )

1.033
22 IBU

Either WLP029, or Opshaug.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Everything is staged for tomorrow's brew of a BJCP 22C wood aged beer, key to this one is the Burbon and charred oak cube tincture added to secondary, then aging it like a larger.

Water is heating up while I take the dogs to the park. Today is a pre-prohibition lager, called Louie The Lip Lager. Made this recipe a few times and it quite tasty. Golden with a big body, great foam retention and somewhat hoppy. Should be finished with clean up by the 1 pm Brewers vs Yankees game. Woo woo

 

[JohnDBrewer]

Not brewing on the weekend, but I brewed yesterday. Double brew day an Imperial Red Ale and Session IPA/APA. Always screw up something when I brew, thus the name of the brewery. Didn't have the hops I was going to use, so it was a mad scramble to rejigger the recipe while I sparged. Of coarse it was for both brews. The Red should be fine, but the IPA/APA might be a questionable combination. Going to have to keep better inventory control.

Since I had to trash my darling wilser bag last week, been debating on brewing this weekend; the only bag I have is a shorty that I bought on amazon a few years back without checking the measurements. Turns out that it fits my BK pretty good as long as I have good clips on top and the false bottom in there, so today brewing up an Anchor Porter clone recipe from my LHBS. Had to tweak it a bit because all I have for base malt is pilsner, but 20 minutes into the full volume BIAB mash and it's already over 1.040; will be a good one. Smells oh so roasty and good in the brewery right now.

And a quick shoutout to @Bobby_M of brewhardware.com; been watching all week to see when my new bag will arrive, and apparently the USPS in Joisey is kinda lazy and didn't do the depart scan on my new bag. Emailed Bobby and got a quick response late on a Friday night.

 

[jdauria]

Brewed up a Marzen yesterday.

 

[MaxStout]

Will be brewing an APA Monday. Pilsner, flaked barley, have a little Briess Special Roast leftover to throw in. Centennial hops for bittering, late boil and flameout, pitching US-05.

 

[seatazzz]

Wow, nobody brewing this weekend?

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, new wilser bag won't be here until later today (not @Bobby_M 's fault, horrible weather in the midwest slowing down shipping is the culprit) so I dragged out the old mash tun, with a short bag that doesn't really work for BIAB. Brewing up a basic Blonde that might go to a competition later this month. I do love my BIAB setup, but being able to use less grain is a bonus, and worth the extra time it takes for a 'traditional' mash.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Strike water is to temp for today's American IPA, just finished breakfast, mashing in now.

 

[Willy]

Brewing a big batch of stout tomorrow. I need to replenish the pipeline.
